Try using Word's mail merge feature.

Put the place holders in a Word template, then using a file in the format of the mail merge data file (use a smart text editor to review a normal Word mail-marge data file to find the format), then open the template using your new data file and the data will be placed auto-magically for you.

be careful with text_io packages. Integrating text_io with a binary file is inviting disaster, if you can even get it to work at all. Just out of curiosity, has anyone successully written to a Word document using TEXT_IO? What if you need to apply fonts or other attributes to text? How would you handle that?

Regards,
Steve
